Although a sense of calm and peacefulness can be felt immediately, it is suggested that adults receive at least a full hour of Reiki to experience the benefits of holistic balancing.  The practitioner will begin the session with the individual positioned 'face up' on a massage table, while laying her hands gently at the top of the receiver’s head (crown chakra) and move down through the bodies energy centers/chakras (third eye, throat, heart, solar, sacral, and root), and then on to the knees and feet, before having the individual turn over to repeat the process. If a table is not available or it is uneasy for an individual to lay down, the benefits of Reiki can also be received on a chair,  on the floor, or any other comfortable or accessible space. For children and the elderly, it is suggested to receive Reiki at least thirty minutes to an hour, depending upon the reason for treatment, as well as the ability to comfortably lay or sit through a session.

How often should I come for a Reiki session? 

This is entirely an individualized decision. Some may be coming for total relaxation, to re-connect or 'tune-up' for an alignment, while others may have chronic or limiting challenges, such as depression, pain, stress and anxiety, or dis-ease/dis-orders. Individuals come as often as twice/week or once/month, but is really dependent on how open one ‘allows the process’ for Reiki healing. It should be noted that Reiki does not replace conventional medical care for physical or mental challenges, yet it works simultaneously in aiding and enhancing the recovery process.
